There are several great locations to enjoy a picnic at Colorado National Monument! Use propane or charcoal only - no wood fires are permitted anywhere in the monument due to high fire danger. Alcoholic beverages are allowed in the Saddlehorn and Devils Kitchen picnic areas. Please be responsible and do not drink and drive. Devils Kitchen Picnic Area by the East (Grand Junction) Entrance has picnic tables, a shade shelter, charcoal grills, a drinking fountain, bathrooms, and garbage/recycling. Saddlehorn Picnic Area near the campground visitor center has picnic tables, charcoal grills, a drinking fountain, bathrooms and garbage/recycling. There are also a few tables under a shade shelter at Saddlehorn Visitor Center, with nearby drinking fountains, bathrooms, and garbage/recycling.
